After giving her a good cleaning, that's the first thing I did as well! My ducks were faded and colors were almost white. It was money and time well spent. Much better!

BrianZ, that would be awesome if you could post pics.

I am with many others that are considering a pf swap. The new ramps have me wanting to go the extra mile and restore the machine.

Speaking of the skill shot ramp, I am missing one of the wire gates on that ramp (the top one not that I think it matters). Does anyone know where I can get one? Thanks!

Yep, I was referring to that last gate between the top 5k and the topmost 25k.

Even without the gate, I still manage to hit that 5k sometimes. lol

PM sent!

Pinsiders are great. Thanks, rpageler, for sending that gate. My Cyclone is now complete!

Thanks for all the good info, BrianZ. After replacing my ramps yesterday, my Cyclone is playing great (My original Comet ramp was a disaster).

I'm so tempted to do a playfield swap, but I'm afraid I would then want to go all in and replace everything and do a full restore.

Yeah, mof, Cyclone is definitely a skills-builder, and it punishes you for missing a shot. It's amazing how often the ball bounces toward the outlane in this game.

Congrats on the high score!

That's a good use for the keychain plastic. It scares the heck out of the guests when the ball smacks the glass. On second thought, I will keep it the way it is...

On another note... is there anyone contemplating a remake of the Ferris Wheel ramp?

Exactly! I bought James' other two repro Cyclone abd Conmet ramps and was waiting for the 3rd when he retired. AFAIK there is no one working on a Ferris Wheel ramp.

Is there anyone working on a Ferris Wheel ramp repro? My other two ramps are new and the Ferris Wheel ramp looks crusty compared to them.

Thanks! I've searched that site and never saw the ramp so assumed they didn't have it.

I've been away from the site for awhile so apologies for my tardy reply.
